We write the timeline for a fantasy/science fantasy/just plain weird world.

Self-explanatory. Every time one writes a post, he writes about a single year and the events that happened on it. Shall we begin?

Anyway, we shall start off... 500 B.E. (Before Event)

You begin!

500 B.E.: Fire is discovered by Thnurt.

499 B.E.: Archaeological evidence indicate that the Spirusca, a large and simple shrine-like stone structure, began its construction at this year.

498 B.E.:

• The tribe of Ninge, under Sur the Bold, begin sailing through the Eternal Sea.
• The Sangschartz people find the Metal Star.

497 B.E.:

• Thnurt dies in a fire accident.
• Thnurt's son, Bort, is born a pyrokinetic.
• A mass of decomposing flesh 150 feet in diameter falls from the sky.

496 B.E.:

• A mass of sentient metal is discovered by the Aranic tribe, and is worshiped as a god.

495 B.E.:

• The Jimya tribe discovers healing magic in the form of pasted kajet plants.
• The Ninge tribe finds an island across the Eternal Sea.

494 BE:

• The Metal God reveals its purpose of seeking out new worlds with life, creating more of itself, and sending it's children on to extend the cycle. The Anaric begin collecting metals to feed it with. This brings the Anaric into conflict with the Sangschartz, as they beleive the Metal Star would be a perfect sacrifice, while the Sangschartz understandibly don't want to lose their national treasure.

492:

• The Mass of Flesh begins to grow, reaching 200 feet in diameter by the end of the year and infecting anyone who comes into contact with it.
• The Metal Star is taken over the Eternal Sea, much to the ire of the Metal God, who demands the high preists firstborn son, Kharim, as a sacrifice. Kharim is remade into a being of living metal and charged with its recovery.

491 B.E.

• The Ninge tribe sets up several settlements throughout the island, separated by vast mountains towering above the clouds.
• Devout followers and the desperate attempt to gain access to the Metal God, seeking power and immortality through rebirth.
• The Sangchartz attempt to activate similar abilities in the Metal Star, having no weaponry able to penetrate a metallic hide.
• The Jimya tribe discovers the Mass of Flesh.

490 B.E.:

• After a vision, Bort decides to go and find "a vile mass of rotting flesh".
• The Jimya that escaped the Mass of Flesh come across a shrine to the Metal God, and try to find him in order to survive.
• A monk from another land, Samar Yarren/Samariyaren comes to the island.

489

• The Jimya reach the Metal God and tell of their plight, whereupon it reveals the Mass of Flesh is an ancient enemy of it. Where the Metal God guides and protects civilizations, the Mass of Flesh assimilates all life into itself. Kharim is recalled from his quest, and ordered to lead the Metal Ones to war.
• The Sangschartz unlock the secrets of teleportation and levitation from the Metal Star, and learn it is an organ of the Metal God's that allowed it to travel faster than light. They still refuse to part with it, on the grounds it could have asked nicely instead of attacking them over it.

Metal God is a Plot Tumor...

490:

• Metal God is annoyed at the Sangschartz, but decides he will deal with them after he defeats the Mass of Flesh.
• While meditating, a Ninge shaman has a vision of "the metal god, the living flesh, and the man of fire".
• The Sumjan tribe forms, and they start worshipping the Frog God.

Tropes Are Not Bad.

Uh, dude? We must write following year after year. Like this: 500-501-502.

it's a countdown to 0, the "Event" that puts the world into its common era

487

• The war between the Metal God and the Mass of Flesh begins in earnest; the Metal Ones battling against infected Jimya tribesmen and animals. Bort arrives, and begins teaching fire magic to the Aranic; which synergises quite nicely with the light magic they had already been taught by the Metal God. Despite only being 10, he is a well-respected member of the community.
• A Ninge diplomatic envoy makes contact with Samariyaren and the Sangschartz.

486 B.E.

• The Sangchartz begin levitating pieces of their land a few hundred feet into the air, but the magic is unstable and requires constant maintenance.
• The Mass of Flesh sends a telepathic message across the planet, implanting images of unity and bliss into the minds of everyone. Cults begin cropping up and a few pilgrimages begin.
• The wheel is invented.

485 B.E.:

• A nomadic, spacefaring tribe of robots, calling themselves the Aluminites, settle down, obsessively searching for the Metal Star.
• Samariyaren carves an idol out of stone and places it next to the Spirusca.
• The Mass of Flesh reveals its name. It is Gur, the Father of Flesh, long-time rival and foe to the Metal God. It calls itself the "true" god of this world and calls the Metal God a "construct".

484 B.E

• Gur sadly evaporates, seemingly for no reason.

• The Aluminites begin experiments on the native fauna.

483:

• Kharim founds the Inquisition.
• Gur cults begin preaching an apocalypse doctrine, stating that he will return one day, cast down the Metal God, and assimilate the whole world
• The Metal God declares the Aluminites abomination, as they attack its fellows to steal their stars, leaving them stranded.

482 B.E.

• The Aluminites not experimenting on fauna steamroll through the world with the only thing comparable to them being the few thousand strong Metal Ones.
• The Metal Star begins releasing a constant steam of 5,000 mSv, preventing anyone other than a Metal One or Aluminite from entering its container.
• The island the Ninge inhabit begins having magnitude 2.5 earthquakes every hour.
• Kharim and the Inquisition become known for their brutality.

481 B.E.:

• The Sumjan, the worshippers of the Frog God, are terrorized by magnitude 5 earthquakes. They respond with sacrificing him flies. One Sumjan shaman concocts a potion that will turn them all into frog-like sophonts, in order to make them "closer to the Frog God".
• The Aluminites respond with grief as they reveal that they wanted to make the Metal God "complete again".
• Bort confronts Kharim, wanting him to talk about Inquisition's ruthlessness.
• The First Metal Kingdom is founded.

I edited it.

2.5 are barely felt and cause no real damage

480 B.E.:

• Sangschartz, unable to enter the container with the Metal Star, finally give it over to Metal God. As reward, Metal God strengthens their levitation powers, and Sangschartz and non-infected Jimya begin to concentrate in the First Metal Kingdom.
• The Ninge settlements are unified by Nino, a Ninge fisherman. The Kingdom of Ningeri is created.
• Kharim challenges Bort to a duel.
• The Sumjan fully become frog-men.

479 B.E.

• Bort, now 18 and having great control of his power, accepts Kharim's challenge. While Bort is capable of burning through Kharim's hide his opponent's strength is too great for him to handle. Bort is defeated after a mere 3 hits.
• Men sailing in from the south invade Ningeri and attack several Gur Cults along the coast of the easternmost continent.
• The Sumjan become an incredibly effective fighting force, being able to jump over 50 feet into the air and cross large distances in a single stride. The Church of the Frog gains converts.
• Nino begins sailing eastward, having received word about the man of fire from his envoy.

478 B.E.:

• Bort graciously accepts his defeat and becomes Kharim's helper in maintaining the Kingdom and the Inquisition. That said, several historians interpreted their relationship as far closer. The Inquisition becomes slightly less ruthless.
• The Southern Raiders go on another raid, this time against the Sumjan. They are able to hold on their own against the frogmen.
• The Metal God is suddenly overwhelmed with "a wave of heresy".
• A group of Aluminites wants to join the Inquisition. Kharim allows them to enter.
• Samariyaren dies peacefully, sleeping besides the Spirusca.
• Nino's boat finally finds the coast of the eastern continent.
